Earl, You mentioned in a previous post that you would consider removing the electrical
system in a Buttercup intended to be used under the sport pilot rules.
Why?

To all who may be interested....I'm beginning construction of a metal wing,
C-85 powered, TW that will weigh around 650 empty and will meet the LSA specs.
It will probably be about a year from now to first flight. I will be offering
plans. Callbie Wood,

Earl have you determined if Buttercup will qualify?
To all of you, will a light weight ,low HP Tailwind perhaps with Vortex
generators meet the Sport Pilot rules?
I'm getting tired of spending $1700 for test, submitting them to wait
9 months for an approval that expires in 3 months.
Just got my special medical 8/18 and it expires 11/30.

If anyone is interested in seeing some of the photos I took on my tour of the west
this summer, they are posted on this web site.
Mine are generally the ones with the date/time stamp.

Bill ,
The Buttercup started it's life off in 1937 as a 30 ' wing , no leading edge
flaps , a skid instead of a tail wheel , one door and of course no electric
with a 50 hp Cont. Over the 60 + years that it has been in the air , it has been
the test bed of a lot of Witt's ideas . Buttercup was the plane that proved
the gear leg in both the round and flat gear leg the Cessna bought the rights
to .
To answer your question , I would like to go back in time and offer a real
simple airplane to the flying community that has it all in ANY classic airplane
. Wittman knew it then and had a hard time convincing anyone . When he got the
attention of Fairchild the war put a stop to it and all was forgotten until
my wife and I showed up with Buttercup at Osh 01 . We have 75 sets of plans out
and a host of builders ....................we will see what the second time
around will bring.
Earl

Richard ... Why would you consider a fibric covered
metal wing?
Weight, for one.
It would be a lot bigger wing than the Tailwind.
For the performance range, it would be a viable fabric wing.
Structural D cell leading edge, beam spars, and aluminum ribs.
Wrap it in a bag and iron it out slick...
